Tea, Taxes, and The American Revolution: Crash Course World History #28

The Crash Course Poster, number 1 of 3 in the beautiful, awesome poster series is available here: dftba.com While you’re there, why not pick up a Mongols t-shirt? In which John Green teaches you about the American Revolution and the American Revolutionary War, which it turns out were two different things. John goes over the issues and events that precipitated rebellion in Britain’s American colonies, and he also explores the ideas that laid the groundwork for the new American democracy. Find out how the tax bill from the Seven Years War fomented an uprising, how the Enlightenment influenced the Founding Fathers, and who were the winners and losers in this conflict.(hint: many of the people living in the Colonies ended up losers) The Revolution purportedly brought freedom and equality to the Thirteen Colonies, but they weren’t equally distributed. Also, you’ll learn about America’s love affair with commemorative ceramics and what happens when rich white guys take the reins from reins white guys, and put together a society of, by, and for rich white guys.

If you don’t know who Jared Leto is – OCTV is here to cure what ails ya. One of the most eclectic and edgy actors of the young Hollywood generation, Jared is perhaps most famous for his performances in “My So Called Life” and “Requiem For A Dream.” He’s starred alongside greats like Nicholas Cage and Colin Farrell, and in his next film “Chapter 27” he plays Mark David Chapman, the man who murdered John Lennon. Jared’s band, 30 Seconds to Mars, recently stopped off in Vancouver as part of their “Forever Night, Never Day” tour, and when OCTV host Roz Allen squished onto a wicker couch with Jared and his equally talented brother Shannon – it was all about the music. Well, sort of. COPIES of this interview are available on DVD for all you hardcore Leto fans – CDN + S&H. Contact me on YouTube for more information.
